HERSHEY´S® Horneando Juntas Giveaway!

Our family loves to bake cookies around this time of year, especially my little one. I’m not sure if it’s the cold weather, the aroma of warm cookies in the air, or simply loving to share tender moments in the kitchen. It may be a combination of all three but one thing is certain – cookies are loved by everyone.

Before you start creating delicious memories with your loved ones, the experts at La Cocina de HERSHEY´S® have a few tips for your horneando juntas:

Invite guests at least two weeks in advance, giving them time to RSVP and provide the recipe they plan to make.

Encourage guests to bake with their immediate family and bring traditional cookies from back home; perhaps suggest that they bake with ingredients such as coconut, guayaba, dulce de leche, among other traditional Latin flavors. Having a piece of home during the holidays is always comforting!

Inform your guests of the total number of people attending and ask them to bring at least a half of a dozen cookies per guest, with which they will exchange their batch.

Encourage them to arrive with an empty, sealable container to take home other guests´ cookies, but make sure to have extra just in case, because tasting your friends´ sweet treats and bringing them home is what an horneando juntas is all about!

Consider hosting an horneando juntas on a Saturday morning and invite your guests to bring their children – they will enjoy the cookies as much as you will!

Don´t forget to play festive music to start welcoming the holidays in spirit!

Be sure to offer a hot seasonal beverage, such as HERSHEY´S® Cocoa or warm apple cider. You may also want to have coffee, tea, milk or juice.

Everyone loves a goody bag! To complement the array of cookies at your horneando juntas, ask that your guests provide their recipes in advance so that you may create recipe books to provide to your guests in commemoration of your party.

My Favorite Cookie Recipe

Around this time of year I make plenty of coquito so I’m always left with a couple of cans of sweetened condensed milk in my pantry for this particular recipe by HERSHEY´S® . The Chewy Peanut Butter Blossoms are delish and so simple to make.

These are the perfect cookie to take along to your next intercambio de galletas (cookie exchange)!
